From Baron to Lord

No, the earls all know that Allen is unbelievably strong, and that he's even a mage!

But so what?

Without Saint domain-level strength, it's difficult to conquer a country.

In fact, even Albert and Garrick both felt that Allen was taking a bit of a risk this time.

After all, even they didn't know Allen's true strength.

Besides their contact with Allen, they hadn't had much contact with others.

Allen had never actively mentioned his identity as a Saint domain Archmage, nor had he mentioned his identity as a Dragon Knight.

So it was normal for the earls to have concerns.

"Marco, everyone has their own choices. If they choose not to go, they don't have to bear the risks, but they also don't get the benefits."

Allen didn't value the fighting power of these earls too much; he only valued the warriors under their command.

But he couldn't force them.

"Yes, sir, you are truly a benevolent and generous lord," Marco said respectfully with a sigh.

The two walked down the street, and everyone they met bowed to Allen.

"Allen!"

Just as they reached the entrance of the villa, Allen saw Princess Leixue, wearing thick clothes and a white animal skin cloak.

The girl's eyes lit up when she saw Allen, and she ran over with very light steps.

"Your Highness, what's the matter?"

Allen said with a smile.

"The people below said they found traces of Brother Leinason. Would you please come with me?"

Leixue looked at Allen with her big eyes, which were full of anticipation and shyness.

......

After Allen, acting as a savior, single-handedly turned the situation of the entire Duchy of Leon around and slaughtered 200,000 troops from the Duchy of Xiac, recovering all the territory,

Allen had become the great hero and dream lover in the hearts of all young girls.

This time was even more impressive than last time!

If, during the first national war, Allen became a prominent figure and a very popular man among noble ladies, then this time he had become the man that countless noble ladies had to marry.

The difference was significant. Outside Allen's villa, noble ladies were trying every means to get close to him every day. Why?

Of course, it was to sleep with Allen.

This phenomenon could be said to be the first of its kind in the Duchy of Leon since its founding.

Even the usually proud little princess, Leixue, had now put down her proud pretense and was coming here every day, whether she had something to do or not.

The little girl's intentions were clear.

However, Allen didn't plan to go with this princess to find Prince Leinason.

After all, a lot of time had already been wasted, and Allen didn't want to waste any more time.

"I'm sorry, Your Highness, I can't accompany you to find Prince Leinason. If you really see Prince Leinason, please give him my regards."

Allen calmly refused the princess's invitation.

Leixue's expression immediately became unhappy.

1.7 "Allen! How dare you refuse me!"

Leixue was a little angry.

Allen smiled, not caring about the princess's anger.

"Your Highness, Master still has many things to do and really doesn't have time," Marco explained.

Leixue glared at him.

Marco immediately shut up.

"What are you going to do! If you don't give me a satisfactory explanation, don't even think about leaving today!"

Leixue grabbed Allen's arm and refused to let go.

"Well, I'm going to the Duchy of Xiac," Allen said helplessly.

"What are you going to do there?" Leixue was stunned.

"Of course, it's to annex the Duchy of Xiac," Allen said seriously.

Leixue was immediately dumbfounded.

"Conquer? Conquer the Duchy of Xiac?"

Leixue's brain was a little muddled, but soon the little girl, who was still smiling, became serious.

"No! Absolutely not!" Leixue immediately blocked Allen's path.

"You're not allowed to go! It's too dangerous!" A trace of worry flashed in Leixue's eyes.

Allen smiled when he heard this: "Don't worry, you've lived with me for so long, you should understand me. I won't act without absolute certainty."

"That's still not allowed!"

Leixue stubbornly shook her head. She didn't believe that Allen could defeat the Duchy of Xiac.

In her opinion, Allen was going to the Duchy of Xiac entirely for the sake of the Duchy of Leon!

This man wanted to send troops to the Duchy of Xiac in order to wash away the shame of the Duchy of Leon!

What a brave and loyal nobleman.

Leixue couldn't let Allen go to his death for the sake of the Duchy of Leon's honor.

Allen was speechless. He vaguely felt that there was some misunderstanding between him and Leixue. Seeing the girl's moved expression, Allen was a little confused.

Why are you so moved when I'm just preparing to build an empire?" Princess Leixue, if there's nothing else, I'll have someone send you back," Allen glanced at Marco, who immediately nodded.

The big man took two steps forward and said to Leixue, "Your Highness, I'll send you back."

Leixue immediately had a tearful expression: "Allen, don't go, okay?"

Allen was speechless and shook his head: "I've already decided."

Leixue didn't say anything this time. The little girl was silent for a while, then turned and left.

Allen didn't care about Leixue. He walked directly into the villa.

Soon, Albert, Garrick, Earth Lizard, Earl Copper Mountain, and others also slowly arrived at Allen's villa.

"Allen, are we really going to attack the Duchy of Xiac?" Albert had a bit of a headache.

"Yes, Father, we are about to set off and attack the Duchy of Xiac," Allen nodded affirmatively. In front of him, a map of the Duchy of Xiac had already been spread out.

"But our people add up to only about 200,000. Although the Duchy of Xiac almost annexed the Duchy of Leon with 200,000 people, you should know that this was related to Gust's response and the internal strife within our duchy."

"If we only have 200,000 people, it won't be easy to truly conquer the Duchy of Xiac."

Garrick frowned slightly. To be honest, if they could really annex the Duchy of Xiac, he would support it with both hands.

But the key was that Garrick didn't think they had much hope.

"We don't need too many people, as long as they are all elites," Allen said softly. The 100,000 Dragonblood Warriors and 50,000 Beastmen Warriors under his command were enough to match a million ordinary troops.

Not to mention that he still had secret weapons that he hadn't used.

"That's true, but..."

Garrick sighed here: "After all, it's their home field. If they work together, we can easily be surrounded. Even if you are a level nine knight, you may not be able to solve the problem."

Garrick's words were recognized by the others.

"Who told you that I'm just a level nine knight?"

Allen showed a smile. At this moment, he had already become a Saint domain knight.

After completing the achievement task: Hero, Allen gained a full 500,000 experience points.

This was enough for him to improve his strength.

So although it had only been a good amount of time, Allen had already transformed from a level nine knight into a Saint domain knight.

No, to be precise, he was a Dragon Knight.

"If you're not a level nine knight, then what else could you be? Oh, right, you're also a powerful mage, but that's just a high-level mage. Could you possibly be a Saint domain Archmage? This..."

Earl Earth Lizard said with some helplessness. What he said was what everyone was thinking.

Allen was very strong, they all knew that. After all, being able to single-handedly fight three marquises and a high-level mage and still be able to beat them down, this kind of strength could be said to be invincible below the Saint domain.

But without becoming a Saint domain, one could not support the grand scheme of a national war.

But even so, they were still just trying to persuade Allen. If Allen was determined to go, they would not retreat.

Without Allen, they would already be dead.

Since that was the case, what was wrong with returning their lives to Allen?

However, before Earl Earth Lizard could finish speaking, Allen had already interrupted him.

"Since you've already said that, then I'm coming clean, I'm a Saint domain Archmage."

As Allen spoke, he released a little of his mental power. Immediately, everyone present felt that their breathing had become difficult in an instant, as if a pair of invisible hands had grabbed their throats.

Everyone stared with wide eyes, their faces filled with shock and horror.

The ability of mental power to affect external objects is one of the symbols of a Saint domain Archmage.

"Cough, cough, cough."

Allen didn't make them uncomfortable for too long. It was enough to let these guys know that he was a Saint domain Archmage.

"Really, it really is a Saint domain!"

Earl Copper Mountain stared at Allen with wide eyes, his face full of complexity and shock.

Damn it, how old was Allen? He heard that he would only be seventeen in a few months.

A Saint domain before the age of seventeen?!

Damn it, what did I hear?

Is he really human?

Earl Copper Mountain questioned himself, completely unable to believe that what Allen said was true.

Not only him, but the other earls were also in a state of shock and confusion.
